OT: Are you blue/green color blind?

It just struck me that the color scheme I'm working on might not work for
color blind folks.

If you are blue/green color blind, you could do me a favor by looking at
this page and telling me if you can see the highlight on the three links in
the left column. It is white text on green background. When you mouseover it
is still white text, but highlighted in blue. If not, do you still feel like
you can navigate?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
But they will notice it is a link because your font weight changes from
regular to bold when you mouseover... so if your color scheme cannot be
changed, it is still noticeable to them as a link just the way you have it.
Another alternative is to add a visual 'dot or arrow' to the mouseover
links.

Thanks everyone very much for your input.

I tried the Vischeck page, and my page seems to be functional (but quite
ugly) in their simulator.

That's also a good idea about adding a bullet or something on the mouseover.
Now if I can just figure out how to do that in CSS... <sigh>
